Quick Start

Follow these steps to get set up and place your first trade.

1. Log in

Sign in with your credentials. The terminal uses industry-standard, secure authentication.

After logging in you’ll land on the Dashboard — the home screen showing feature highlights and your entry points into the platform.

2. Get access to the terminal

Before you can launch the terminal, you need to activate one of the following:

Option	What you get
Free Trial (7 days)	Limited terminal access with real exchange connections (1 exchange, 2 chart workspaces, core trading tools). No payment required.
Subscription	Full terminal access with real exchange connections. Choose a plan via “View Plans” on the dashboard.
Challenge	A simulated evaluation account — pass it to earn a funded performance account. Click “Start Challenge” on the dashboard.

Choose the option that fits your goals. You can always upgrade or start a challenge later.

3. Launch the terminal

Once your trial, subscription, or challenge is active, click “Launch Terminal” on the dashboard to enter the trading workspace.

4. Connect your exchange

If you’re on a free trial or subscription, you’ll need to connect a real exchange account:

1. In the top toolbar, locate the Accounts dropdown.
2. Click it and select “Connect Exchange Account” (or the + icon).
3. Fill in the dialog:
   • Exchange — Select your exchange (e.g., Binance, Bybit).
   • Display Name — A nickname for this account (e.g., “Bybit Main”).
   • API Key & Secret — Paste your API credentials from the exchange.
   • Account Type — Choose “Futures” or “Spot”.
4. Click Save. The terminal validates your keys and connects.

For detailed instructions, see Connecting an Exchange.

5. Place your first trade

Open the Order Form on the left panel:

1. Select Market or Limit as the order type.
2. Set your size — the form’s default (Basic) view sizes by quantity / size %.
3. Optionally set a Stop Loss (and, in Advanced view, a Take Profit).
4. Click Buy/Long or Sell/Short.

Your order is live. Track it in the Positions & Orders table at the bottom.

Want risk-based sizing?

Switch the order form to its Advanced view to unlock Risk % sizing — you pick a risk percentage and a stop, and the terminal solves for the position size automatically. It isn’t available in the default Basic view. See Placing Orders.
